1636...State Of Their Union

In a lot of respects, you may discuss this at your Super Bowl party if you wish, as the United States goes so do we.

In that vein let's keep an ear out for President Barack Obama's second State of the Union address.

Political website www.huffingtonpost.com has this information for those of you that won't be totally into the Capital Hoops Classic:

The State of the Union Address for 2010 is slated to start at 9 p.m. Eastern Time and 6 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2010.

President Barack Obama's speech will likely clock in at just under an hour based on previous years. His address was 51 minutes last year and no State of the Union Address has gone more than an hour since 2000, when President Bill Clinton spoke for an hour and a half.

The State of the Union Address will air on major television news networks.

It can also be watched online at WhiteHouse.gov.

The Huffington Post will also be carrying extensive live coverage of the event, including instant Twitter reaction and analysis.

There you go.

Iffen you want you may make it into a drinking game: every time President Obama says "America" take a shot of Wild Turkey.

Good luck on that.
